WordArt image macros are a distinct style of internet humor that draws inspiration from the flamboyant, gradient-filled text effects found in early versions of Microsoft Office. While originally intended for school projects and office newsletters in the 1990s and 2000s, these designs resurfaced as a staple of internet irony and vaporwave culture during the 2010s. The humor typically arises from the juxtaposition of the overly cheerful, dated 3D text against absurd, nihilistic, or mundane statements. Today, the format is a cornerstone of post-ironic digital art, often encapsulated by the famous 'Graphic Design Is My Passion' mantra, celebrating the charmingly low-budget and nostalgic look of early digital typography.
